MOWING RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Keep mower blades sharp.
2. Make sure deck and discharge chute are clean.
3. Pivoting Front Axle Settings - The Professional
Series pivoting front axle increases operator
comfort, traction, mower life and improves quality
of cut. In some conditions stopping the front axle
from pivoting will improve the evenness of the
cut. It can also reduce scuffing of the anti-scalp
rollers when mowing on uneven terrain.To set
the front axle in a fixed position, move the lock-
ing pins to the outer positions. (See page 21)
